Open Studio|Cambrian College "Cyan Blue(berry) Photography: Make your own!" @10:00am12:00pm:
Come by Open Studio | Cambrian College for a free drop-in activity, where you can create your own cyanotype
image on a specially coated paper. We’ll provide you with a 4” x 6” cyanotype paper or ‘sun print’, where you place
objects (provide your own or we’ll have some on hand) onto the paper to create beautiful vibrant cyan blue and
white images. Sunlight ‘exposes’ the paper and is then ‘processed’ with water. Whatever your object covers results
in white tones and whatever is exposed to sun/UV rays results in blue tones. Bring your cyanotype home to air dry
and flatten afterward, as the paper will likely curl. Please note we have a limited number of cyanotype paper.
